Added Computers for Testing

The Alexandria Testing Center is constantly trying to discover ways to better serve our students.  In an effort to lessen the time you spend waiting for a computer during high peak times, we are adding 26 additional computers to our lab. These computers will be available on Fridays and Saturdays starting September 6th until further notice.

Please pass the word to your classmates that they need not look any further than room AA 332 to meet their exam needs.
